Christie Brinkley's Daughter Just Posed for Sports Illustrated and Looks Identical to Her Mother

We can't say we're surprised! With looks so reminiscent of her mom, the 63-year-old supermodel Christie Brinkley, it seemed all but inevitable that Sailor Brinkley Cook would also become a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition model.

Sailor, 19, wasn't even a twinkle in her mom's eye when Christie first appeared on the cover of the iconic publication in 1979, but she eventually inherited those bikini-rocking genes, as proven by recent behind-the-scenes Instagram posts from the Aruba-based photoshoot.

It was last month that Sailor, who has spoken openly about her life-long struggles with self-confidence, found out she was named an official Rookie for the 2018 Swimsuit Edition. However, if we're being pedantic about it, Sailor isn't a rookie at all. She appeared alongside her SI-veteran mom and 31-year-old half-sister, Alexa (daughter of Billy Joel), in the 2017 issue.
